I had a dream...

Ok, I almost feel foolish posting about this but... it's about dreams. Now I do believe that God has used dreams in the Bible to speak to His people (see Genesis 20, Matthew 1) and He told us about those that can interpret dreams (Joseph, Daniel), however I do not rely on dreams personally. I have never had the experience of being "spoken to" while in dreamland.I do want to record this, however, should it come true. Last night was a horrible night. Went to bed normal time, around 11p (feeling kinda "yucky") and was restless all night. Tossing, turning, odd, vivid dreams, waking up several times, etc. Now in the past that type of night has come with pregnancy. But, listen to this: in one of my dreams, I was taking some sort of medical test that displayed results on a small, digital screen. I distinctly remember reading "You are pregnant" across the little screen. Crazy. So, I decided to share the dream with my hubby, who said "You won't believe this, but... I dreamt I was holding a baby in my arms and that it was our baby. It wasn't Jill's (our close friend that had a baby about 10 days before our Nathan) baby. I remember knowing that it was my child." Chills.Especially after hearing his dream, I just had to pray about it all and just turn it up to God. I can not and will not get hopes up or put my hope in our two dreams. My hope rests solely in Christ. But, I will be super excited if it comes true ;-)

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm."(Ephesians 6:10-13)

You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, training them up in God's fear, minding the house, and making your household a church for God as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of Hosts. ~Charles Spurgeon

About Me

I'm the wife (since '01) to a wonderful, creative, honest man who is a former youth pastor (turned banker out of necessity). I'm also the mommy of 4 children: 2 on earth and 2 in heaven. My daughter, "Lynn," was born in 7/2003. I miscarried at 11 wks. in 9/2006. My son, "Nathan," was delivered stillborn at 36 wks. in 5/2008. We welcomed our precious "rainbow baby" "Zane" to our family in 11/2009. Despite the spots of quicksand in my life, I try to live each moment graciously, thankful that God's blessings are abundant! The joy and hope that can be found in Him is amazing and leaves me filled with His peace.
